Thank you for loving my Lucy gal so much!! I appreciate the thorough updates and all the photos I received. Those are the extra touches that mean so much when I’m away missing my fur babies. ❤️ 10/10 plan to book again!

Josie is a wonderful pet caregiver, but most importantly an absolute angel of a human being. She is a breath of fresh air, and is very passionate about what she does. Josephine goes far and beyond for the animals, and has a deep, sincere love for them. And all the while she shows her enthusiasm caring for the animals, she remains very professional. My animals are very comfortable in Josie’s presence when they can sometimes be a bit difficult with people, which shows how she even possesses a sort of natural gift for being around animals. Perhaps it could have to do with her gentleness and calm demeanour. She is someone who does her research and absolutely loves the pets as if they were one of her own. If there is someone that should be recommended, in my heart it would be Josephine for all the work she puts into her caregiving work.

Josie has been one of the most considerate dog sitters I've ever had. Most of the time I'm always able to take care of my doodle, Bart, myself, but I've had a few situations where I haven't been able to. I tried Josie for the first time, never have used a dog sitter before, and it was one of the best experiences I had. The stress of having to find someone to take care of my dog was lifted off my shoulders. I had many questions to ask Josie, since this was my first time getting a dog sitter, and she was kind and appreciative and soothed all of my worries. She was very responsive and kind towards Bart, from taking him for bathroom breaks, feeding him on time, and training him for good habits. When I got Bart after dog sitting he seemed very excited and happy, both towards me and to Josie, which showed how comfortable he was around her. I can definitely trust Josie to take care of Bart again, and I highly recommend her to anyone else looking for a kind, considerate, and thoughtful dog sitter!

I had such a wonderful experience with Josie! She was so caring, responsible, and attentive, it was clear from the start that she genuinely adores and deeply cares for animals. She made sure Olly got plenty of attention and care while i was gone, and her updates and photos gave me peace of mind knowing he was in good hands! Came home to happy, well cared for fur baby and couldn’t have asked for a better sitter

Josie is a wonderful, amazing pet sitter! I would definitely recommend her :)!! She is super friendly, such a pleasure to meet and converse with. Most importantly, extremely gentle and caring towards animals. My rabbit had a wonderful time with her, I couldn’t be more pleased. If I ever need a pet sitter again, I would be more than happy to have her back!

Josie took such great care of my bird. Very responsible with my bird, very understanding of my situation and very easy to reach out. I would 100% have Josie take care of my bird for next time!
